You are expecting honesty and full disclosure from a shrink , never gonna happen, many people with the newer electronic records access or just by requesting to see there file are shocked to find other diagnosis in them that they were never told about. Anything a Dr feels will hurt you more than help you goes into the chart but is never spoken about with the patient , although through this open records initiative they are finding people pissed that stuff was held back under the guise " it was better for you not to know " they are also finding this drives a wedge into the ability to trust or continue a therapeutic relationship with the doctor , this is why they reccomend that anytime you leave a doctor or practice you get a copy of your records , so you know what's in them , same thing with challenging something in your medical record if it's wrong you have the right to have a statement added to your record to correct any inaccuracies or misunderstandings so it does not become an assumed correct fact , in the mind of your next care provider. I am the king of not getting along with doctors , when they try and play God, to manipulate me into doing something that I am firmly against like taking Pregablin for my pain or switching to methadone for pain control , I get rid of them right quick, or sometimes they just hold obstructionist beliefs to my care ,and want to do anything they can to get in my way , I will not pay you consult someone like that , your care should be a partnership with you fully in control of making decisions, they are there to help guide you , not to manipulate you into seeing things there way, absolute power corrupts adbsolutuetly . If you hired a contractor to renovate your bathroom and did it not the way you wanted it , but the way they wanted it , you would object and not pay them until they did the job they were hired to do, it's the same thing with a doctor ,work together with me or don't work for me , plain and simple.
